Mission News

hey mom-well the good news is i'm staying in yarmouth for another six weeks. we got the call last night. elder Cosman was released as district leader and nothing else really exciting happened so yeah i'm still here.anyways, i talked to a guy in our branch about Pres. Blakney and he is about the same age as you, so i think it was him. I will ask him though if i ever see him or talk to him. it sounds like a lot of people are home for christmas which is fun. that would be the easier thing about college is you get to do what you want when you want. the tough thing about being a missionary is having to follow all of the rules. but i'm getting better at it, and letting my addictions to tv and xbox go, as hard as that is to do. lol. that is pretty crazy that Hans is in the field now, the time is absolutely flying by for me. i am no longer a greenie, so i am off of the training part of my mission. so that is cool. nothin too different about it though. not too much has happened this week. well we did talk to a british guy on the street yesterday, and he was so funny saying all the lingo like smashing, and groovy. i loved it, we both laughed after we talked to him. we invited him to church so we shall see if he will come. i'm still really excited about this area, but it is tough sometimes to still understand that it is all up to the lord. the good thing though, is that if i do my best he will bless me. maybe not on my mission exactly, but when i have a family and married and at college and what not. So i still try and do my best and do what he wants me to do.That is very good news for jaren and his knee. hopefully he can stay not injured for the rest of the season and hopefully his career!! it sounds like they are all doing well though. it just choked me up on the phone to hear all of your voices and such, the kids sound so grown up. especially zoe and darbi. we had fun last night, we stopped by a non members house and got to play the wii for a little bit. they are a super sweet family, we are just hoping they will have their interest in teh gospel sparked. there are a lot of good people here. we have found a few families just in about two days. so i'm excited to teach them and hopefully go somewhere with them. sounds like dad was having some fun with the computer. good thing he fixed it though. computers these days are so difficult. well i'm doing great and have really found a new excitement to be here over the past couple of days. i don't really know why, i'm just trying to follow the example of some missionaries in the Book of Mormon. i'm hopin to be a great missionary for the Lord.well i love you all and hope that you have a good new year and work hard this year. i will be. tell the kids to keep up the good work and have fun while they can without me. cause when i get home i will want to spend all the time with them. so anyways they still have about 20 months... well mom i love you and thank you for the emails and support and love. Love always Elder Nick Novakovich
